1910 EMF Model 30 Speedster

This E-M-F Speedster wears an older restoration and rides on an authentic chassis. The body is a later speedster type painted blue. The car is fitted with E-M-F script headlamps and the engine has a later distributor. It is a seldom-seen specialty body on a relatively unusual brass automobile.

The L-head four-cylinder engine displaces 226.2 cubic inches and produces 30 horsepower. There is a solid front axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs along with two-wheel mechanical brakes.

In 2010, this Speedster was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $10,000 - $20,000 and was offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $24,200 including the buyer's premium.
